Vermont South is a suburb of Melbourne, Australia, 26 km (16 miles) east of its Central Business District. It had a population of 11,954 at the 2021 census.[2]

The eastern boundary is Dandenong Creek, which flows from the Dandenong Ranges through to Port Phillip. The suburb was mostly developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s, after developers bought the apple orchards in the area.

Pre-Colonisation

[edit]

Before the first European colonialists, the landscape was thickly timbered bushland, occupied by the Wurundjeri, Indigenous Australians of the Kulin nation, who spoke variations of the Woiwurrung language group. They were hunters and gatherers, camping near the creeks and gullies of the area now known as Bellbird Dell. The creek flowed from immediately north of the Dell, through it and on to join the Dandenong Creek.

Early History

[edit]

The first settlers, who were woodcutters and charcoal burners, came in the 1850s before land sales. Selectors followed and they marked out, leased and improved allotments, which would enable them to gain freehold titles from the Crown. Temporary wattle and daub huts were erected and later substantial timber cottages.

Apart from some general farming, orchards dominated the landscape until the 1950s and 60s, when the demand for new housing areas led to the subdivision of orchards. Nunawading Council (now Whitehorse Council) began the acquisition of property in 1966, with the purchase of a large block (7.26 hectares; 18 acres) from local orchardist Cecil Rhodes to form Bellbird Dell. Other orchards were purchased for private housing developments.

Vermont South was the location of the Australian Gun Club in the 1960s and 1970s.[3]

Private Housing Developments

[edit]

Burwood Rise, the suburb's first major housing estate, is located between Livingstone and Stanley Roads and around Dalroy Crescent. Developed in stages from 1968 to 1971 by an associate company of Forest Hill Heights, who owned the Forest Hill Shopping Centre, the project aimed to create over 400 homes for potential customers. The scheme began when Mr Bill Gelfand, one of the partners in Micheal Gelfand Pty. Ltd, wondered about the possibilities of the land east of Springvale Road. The initial purchase of more than 80 acres cost $640,000. Five apple orchardists were paid $8,000 per acre.[4] The estate was originally dominated by display homes showcasing designs by builders like Tomkin Homes, Williams Quality Homes, Hayes Homes, Glenvill Homes, and Spaceline Homes.[5]

The 1968 Sunrise Hill subdivisions near the north-east corner of Highbury and Springvale Roads created Wildwood Avenue and numerous courts named after tree species. In early 1971, the Inge Brothers launched their Granada display village on the southern side of Burwood Highway, showcasing a variety of designs inspired by Spanish architecture.[6][7] Throughout the 1970s, Burwood Highway continued to be a key area for smaller display villages, featuring two on opposite corners of Fortescue Road and another at the intersection of Terrara Road.[8] Vermont Park was established as a cluster housing estate in 1977, featuring over fifty individual homes set within a landscaped environment. It includes interconnected pathways and roadways, as well as communal amenities such as a swimming pool and barbecue area.[9][10] Development Underwriting released the 170-lot Forest Hill Park estate at the north end of Livingstone Road in 1972 before acquiring more land and creating the 163-lot Vermont Views estate, which occupies much of the land between Hawthorn Road and Hanover Road.

In early 1971, the Inge Brothers launched their Granada display village on the southern side of Burwood Highway, showcasing a variety of Spanish-flavoured home designs.[11][12] Throughout the 1970s, Burwood Highway was a key area for smaller display villages, featuring two on opposite corners of Fortescue Road and another at the intersection of Terrara Road.[5]

The Vintage Gardens estate, the largest in the suburb, was a private house-and-land package development created by Stocks & Holdings in 1972. The streets are named after famous Australian wineries such as Great Western Drive, Borossa Avenue and Mildara Street - and originally adjoined the popular Vermont Winery. The first release of 50 lots occurred just before Christmas in 1972 and home buyers were given a selection of a dozen bottles of wine.[13] House-and-land developments remained popular in Vermont South and adjoining suburbs throughout the 1970s and 1980s.[5] Macquarie Builders, a division of Kaiser Aetna, acquired 60 acres of land south of Burwood Highway and built the 220-lot Pioneer Ridge estate encompassing Colonial Drive, Overland Drive and Stockmans Drive. Land sales began in 1975 and buyers could choose between 25 varieties of brick veneer homes ranging from 12½ squares to 29 squares in floorspace.[14][15] Lend Lease purchased 16 acres off the Livermore family and opened the Wingwood Close estate in 1977 with 49 homes.[16][17] The Carrington Heights estate at Delecombe Drive and Winjallock Crescent opened with over 90 lots in 1975. Eric Leslie and George Victor Fankauser subdivided their 41-acre orchard property in 1974 and created the Tyrol Orchard Estate, named after their family who immigrated from Tyrol, Austria in the 1860s.[18][19] The estate includes Lindau Drive, Lascelle Drive, Donbirn Way and several courts.[20] Vermont Park was established as a cluster housing estate in 1977, featuring over fifty individual homes set within a landscaped environment. It includes interconnected pathways and roadways, as well as communal amenities such as a swimming pool and barbecue area.[21][22]

Shopping Centre and Primary School

[edit]

The Vermont South Shopping Centre was developed by Hanover Holdings Ltd. and officially opened with the suburb's post office on 22nd October, 1974.[23] The centre was established alongside a housing development and was originally going to be called the "Burvale Shopping Town".[24] It followed the 1970 amendment to the Melbourne Metropolitan Planning Scheme, which re-zoned the area for residential use. Mr. Ted Jane, the Town Clerk of Nunawading, played a pivotal role in encouraging the council to create a central "heart" for the area. This initiative led to the designation of the land that now houses the centre.[25]

To further the concept of the “heart”, the council persuaded the Education Department to purchase the 20 acres of land immediately to the north of the proposed Centre for school purposes. In 1974 the council made a submission to the Minister of Education for a “joint development with the Education Department in the provision of community facilities in Vermont South”. A public meeting was convened at the Vermont South Special School on March 26th, 1976. From this meeting the Vermont South Planning Group was established. The inaugural meeting of the Livingstone Primary School Interim Committee was held on April 26th, 1976, at the Vermont South Special School. A committee was formed with representatives from the Education Department and Parkmore Primary School. By October 1976, this committee saw its task completed. Work commenced on the school on April 12th 1977, and the concrete was poured in mid-May. By July 21st 1978 all Grades had moved in, and the official opening was held on March 31st 1979 by John Richardson, Member for Forest Hill.[25]

Landmarks

[edit]
Pin Oak Court (also known as Ramsay Street)

Pin Oak Court in Vermont South is the filming location for "Ramsay Street" in the Australian soap opera Neighbours. A Neighbours tour bus operates on a regular basis, which is popular with UK backpackers.

Vermont South is the home of the Nunawading Motorross Track, just off Burwood Highway. Behind the motocross track are bush walk trails connecting to Dandenong Creek and a spectacular lookout. The lookout is located at the peak of a man-made hill, which is the remains of the former City of Nunawading Tip that was closed in the 1970s.[3] These walking/bike trails (Dandenong Creek Trail) connect to the greater bike trails of eastern Victoria, including the Mount Dandenong National Park and Nortons, Napier and Jells Parks. Sportlink is also a landmark.

The Burvale Hotel is named after its location at the intersection of Springvale Road and Burwood Highway

Commercial areas

[edit]

The Vermont South Shopping centre is located on the Burwood Highway, which contains anchor stores with a variety of small retails shops. There are adjoining retail outlet franchises and a variety of smaller businesses that trade in fast food and miscellaneous services.

On the south side of Burwood Highway is the head office and laboratories of the former Australian Road Research Board, now ARRB Group Ltd. This property has now sold majority of its land to developers, where a retirement village has been constructed.

At the end of 2005, the largest Bunnings Warehouse in the world was built in Vermont South. The Australian Lifestyle television program, Better Homes and Gardens, filmed a special at this location.

Transport

[edit]

The Government of Victoria extended tram route 75 from its former terminus at Burwood East to the Vermont South Shopping Centre in 2005. In addition to the tram, a Transit Bus Link has been added, which travels down Burwood Highway to Westfield Knox Shopping Centre.

This transit bus, named the "Knox Transit Link" runs up to 21 hours per day, in conjunction with the route 75 tram timetable, making a "seamless connection" to and from the tram.

An upgrade in November 2007[citation needed] saw the introduction of an hourly Sunday service and buses running until 9pm 7 days a week.

Bus routes 732, 736, 742 and 902 also service Vermont South. All four bus routes operate seven days.

732: Box Hill to Upper Ferntree Gully

736: Mitcham to Blackburn

742: Ringwood to Chadstone Shopping Centre

902 SmartBus: Chelsea to Airport West

Route 732 duplicates the Knox Transit Link section entirely, however it does not have the extended-hours operation of the Knox Transit Link.

Routes 736 and 742 run past Vermont South Shopping Centre and the tram terminus, with both routes sharing bus stops in Hanover Rd.

Route 902 runs along Springvale Rd along the western extremity of Vermont South.

Parks and reserves

[edit]

Local parks in Vermont South include Billabong Park, Charlesworth Park, Terrara Park, Tyrol Park and the Dandenong Valley Metropolitan Park (west of Dandenong Creek).

Bellbird Dell is a natural park, located in the north of the suburb. It is a 1.4 km (1500 yard) linear park with an area of 17.5 hectares (43 acres), named after the bellbirds that can be heard in the park. The majority of the park is thick bush, however, there are walking trails, wetlands and ornamental lakes. Open grassed areas are provided with picnic tables. For walkers 'The Dell' offers short or long strolls but dogs must be on a leash, as the main pathways are shared with cyclists. Birds and frogs can be seen and heard here and, in spring, there are wildflowers. Victoria's floral emblem, the pink heath (Epacris impressa), can be seen growing wild within the remnant areas.

Hanover Reserve in Vermont South has a playground for children, as well as accessible swings. A pocket guide to Walking and Wheeling in Whitehorse has been produced highlighting some of the parks and walking trails in the municipality.[26]

Sustainability Street hubs have been operating in Blackburn, Box Hill, Vermont South and most recently Wattle Hill. Participating communities are guided through a process where they learn about sustainability and how to share practical sustainable principles and actions with others, as well as how to organise themselves as a group in implementing an event/project. The six-month training period is organised around four stages, called mulch (learn), sow (plan), grow (do) and harvest (teach).[33]

[edit]

A new $8 million,[34] multi-purpose netball stadium was opened in Hanover Road on 7 February 2009. Sharelle McMahon gave a speech and umpired a community netball match for the occasion.[35] It provides for netball, basketball, indoor soccer, badminton and volleyball games, and is already home to local clubs.

To celebrate the opening milestone event, a 'Come and Try Day' was held at Sportlink Vermont South,[36] with the chance to see the new development, watch sports demonstrations and take part in fun activities. Sportlink, which features four indoor and four outdoor courts, includes a multipurpose room, community room, café, first aid room and change rooms.

Infrastructure

[edit]

Sewerage

[edit]

In 1966 the Metropolitan & Melbourne Board of Works (MMBW) put forth a plan to construct numerous "package" sewage treatment plants in the valleys of Dandenong Creek and its tributaries. The project aimed to provide adequate sewerage to the catchment before the Dandenong Valley Trunk sewer (DVT) could supersede the purification works. One of these facilities was to be established in Vermont South aiming to cater to the increasing population in the area. The proposal aligned with a surge in developer enthusiasm attributed to significant population growth in adjacent suburbs.[56]

Previously, Vermont South had primarily depended on septic systems to handle it's wastewater. A topographical restraint precluded the area from being served by The Board's existing gravitational sewerage system. Moreover, with the Dandenong Valley Trunk Sewer not slated for completion until the early 1980s, there was an immediate requirement to establish a temporary treatment plant for the region. The site, north of Burwood Highway between Morack Road and Dandenong Creek, had been chosen by The Board in the early 1970s. The John Holland group was awarded the contract to assemble the plant, which began discharging treated wastewater in the early months of 1974. The construction process involved the excavation and levelling of the adjacent terrain and the reconfiguration of a nearby stream once dammed for orchard irrigation.[57]

Establishment of the Terrara Road Branch Sewers as far as the Bellbird Dell parklands allowed the reticulation of numerous subdivisions west of the golf course, namely the ambitious Vintage Gardens estate. More developments were sewered as additional sections of the branch were laid, including the Vermont South Shopping Centre precinct and the Barnsdale Forest, Vermont Views, Vermont Park, and Morack Forest residential estates. A smaller branch also fed sewage to the plant from the Carrington Heights and Wingwood Close estates. Upper sections of the branch sewered some homes north of the Healesville Freeway Reserve in the suburb of Vermont (not to be confused with Vermont South), including properties along Jolimont Road and in the Trove Park and Uplands subdivisions. Most of Vermont had already been connected to the Ringwood Outfall Sewer (RIO) and Gardiners Creek Main Sewer (GCM) by this point.[58]

By 1980, the plant was sewering an area of around 880 acres. Due to the topography of the region, not all of Vermont South was connected to the Morack Road site. Properties south of Burwood Highway and west of Livingstone Road were generally connected to the Waverley / Shepherd Road Plant, commissioned in 1972. In 1982, The Board of Works completed construction on the Nunawading Branch Sewer - connecting the tributaries of the Morack Road plant to the Dandenong Valley Trunk Sewer and subsequently the Eastern Treatment Plant, bypassing the treatment works at Vermont South. The branch also sewered developments along Mountain Highway in Wantirna South such as the Castlefield Ridge, Stratford Square, Oak Tree Ridge, Cambridge Gardens, Wantirna Park, and Woodlands estates.[59] The City of Nunawading acquired the plant shortly after it was decommissioned.

Water supply

[edit]

The Vermont South Pumping Station, originally designated as MMBW Pumping Station No. 72, was commissioned at Livingstone Road in 1974 to maintain pressure within the suburb's expanding water supply reticulation. Strategically located at an elevated position, the station's three pumps are housed within a cream brick building built to a widely-used standard MMBW design. The site has been operated by Yarra Valley Water since 1992.[58]

Drainage

[edit]

The Dandenong Valley Authority's decision to barrel the Bellbird Dell creek in 1972 was a response to significant flooding in the area caused by the burgeoning residential subdivisions.[60] This action coincided with the reservation of the site and surrounding land as public open space.[61]
